Experience the Healing Benefits of Essential Oils
Contributed by Ancient Apothecary

Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from plants that are highly concentrated, with a strong aroma and tremendous healing properties. By concentrating the oils of these plants, you are literally separating the most powerful healing compounds of a plant and turning it into a single oil. They are typically created through the process of distillation, which separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant by steaming.

For over 5,000 years, many different cultures have used these healing plant oils for a variety of health conditions. Essential oils are extracted directly from the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed, or root of a plant or tree—and just one drop can have powerful health benefits. Using essential oils for healing purposes is often called aromatherapy, which is a holistic treatment seeking to improve physical, mental, and emotional health.

There are four ways to benefit from the healing effects of essential oils:
1. Topically—Essential oils have a very small size and possess the chemical weight of less than 1000m (m=weight of molecule). According to scientific testing, any substance with a molecular weight below 1000m should be absorbed by the skin. This means that essential oils are able to penetrate the skin, pass into the blood stream, and into different areas of the body for internal therapeutic benefits.

2. Aromatically—There is great evidence that essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream when inhaled. The abundance of blood vessels located in the lungs absorb the oils, then circulate them throughout the body. Using a diffuser can help you aromatically experience the benefits of essential oils. You can diffuse lavender to reduce stress, melaleuca to cleanse the air, wild orange to improve mood, frankincense for spiritual enlightenment, and peppermint to improve focus and energy.

3. Ingestion—Essential oils can be used as a powerful natural remedy, but it should be remembered that essential oils are potent. Most essential oils are safe for internal use, but a little bit goes a long way! Usually 1-3 drops mixed with water is plenty.

4. Personal Care—In this day and age, using essential oils to make homemade DIY personal care products is becoming a very popular trend. This is an excellent away to take advantage of essential oils to enhance your home, beauty, and long-term health.
